Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

Centella Asiatica Extract is derived from an herb plant native to Southeast Asia. It is rich in antioxidants and amino acids. In skincare products, Centella Asiatica Extract is used for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

The combination of all these properties makes Centella Asiatica Extract effective at soothing the skin.

Other components of Centella Asiatic Extract include Vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and Asiatic Acid.

Recent studies found madecassoside may help prevent damage from UV rays by preventing UV-induced inflammation. Further research is needed.

Sodium Citrate is the sodium salts of citric acid. In skincare, it is used to alter pH levels and acts as a preservative.

Sodium Citrate helps maintain the pH of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

Sodium Citrate is a chelating agent. It neutralizes metal ions from water and prevents them from binding to other ingredients. This ensures the other ingredients will not be altered.

This is skin texture's final boss. After using this, the texture, gone. Skin, smooth. I started using this everyday once I got it, but I haven't gotten any irritation or acne, so that's good. The first few weeks you definitely see a difference in texture. I just hate how it's always sold out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this soooo much. First of all, it literally smells like a spa, it comes with a cute little toner pad plucker so that your fingers don’t cross contaminate the contents. I even showed it to my neighbours who are also obsessed with Korean skincare and they were so jealous of how it looks. But the use was even better. The needley toner pads are double sided one side being rough and the other smooth so it exfoliates really well combined with the gentle moisture the toner provides. What I love about these is how BIG they are! I wash my face double cleansing, exfoliate and the needley pads brush off the remaining debris and dead skin cells I otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The best part about these is that you can use them everyday if you want to. I only use mine every other day sometimes only twice a week. Some people cut them in half since they’re so big and they last even LONGER. I really cherish mine. They make a big difference to my skin and are at times the single contributor to preventing a breakout because it like brings a clean slate to my face so it’s wiped of all gunk.

I just finished this as I’m writing this review. First, very hydrating and I love the smell. It’s nothing strong though. It’s full of essence and big the pads are big. Using it daily (only morning) lasted me for about 2-3 months which is great. In terms of skin, I feel like it does clear up some blemishes but takes time. You have to use it everyday but don’t expect a miracle overnight.I use it as a toner in the day (do not use this with a toner as it can be a bit heavy for oily acne people) and then layer my AXIS-Y correcting spot treatment on top. It does a great job. It makes you feel fresh and good. would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a daily pick me up.

A tip with any toner pads, is to use it as a sheet mask and leave it on for 4-5 minutes.
